Abstract
Disclosed is a system for creating a fog. In one nonlimiting example embodiment, the system includes a pump, a motor configured to drive the pump, a first controller configured to control the motor, a reservoir configured to hold a liquid, a first conduit configured to transfer the liquid to the pump, a second conduit configured to transfer the liquid from the pump to a nozzle, a high pressure sensor configured to detect pressure within the system, wherein the nozzle includes a surface upon which the liquid shatters and turns into the fog and wherein a pressure on a pressure side of the pump does not exceed 3000 psi.

A system for creating a fog, comprising:
- a pump;
- a motor configured to drive the pump;
- a first controller configured to control the motor;
- a reservoir configured to hold a liquid;
- a first conduit configured to transfer the liquid to the pump;
- a second conduit configured to transfer the liquid from the pump to a nozzle;
- and
- a valve configured to recirculate at least some of the liquid needed to limit a pressure in the second conduit to less than 3000 psi, wherein the fog is created by directing the liquid through a flat surface and thereafter shattering the liquid on the flat surface.
A fog generator comprising:
- a pump;
- a motor configured to drive the pump;
- a first controller configured to control the motor;
- a reservoir configured to hold a liquid;
- a first conduit configured to transfer the liquid to the pump;
- a second conduit configured to transfer the liquid from the pump to a nozzle;
- a third conduit configured to transfer the liquid from the pump to the reservoir;
- a high pressure sensor configured to detect pressure within the system on the pressure side of the pump;
- a valve configured to control a flow of the liquid in the third conduit, wherein the nozzle includes a flat surface upon which the liquid passes through and thereafter shatters on the flat surface and turns into the fog and wherein a pressure on a pressure side of the pump does not exceed 3000 psi and wherein the pressure in the system is controlled by one of controlling a speed of the motor and the valve controlling the flow of liquid in the third conduit.
